Remy Chauvin (10 October 1913 – 8 December 2009) at Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, Haut-Rhin, was a biologist and entomologist, and a French Honorary Professor Emeritus at the Sorbonne, PhD, and a senior research fellow since 1946. Chauvin was also known for defending the rights of animals and for being interested in such topics as parapsychology, life after death, psychics, clairvoyance and UFOs.[1] He sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Pierre Duval.

Evolution

Chauvin, continuing a tradition defended by French scientists Pierre-Paul Grassé and Jean Piveteau, was very critical of Darwinism and sociobiology. He developed his own evolutionary theory which was described in three books (God of the ants, God of the stars; The Biology of the Spirit; Darwinism or the death of a myth)[2]

Chauvin's view of evolution can be seen as directed, goal driven and non-random. He has been described as a non-darwinian evolutionist.[3] The following is a summary of his evolutionary views:

  • Neo-Darwinism is a set of tautologies (e.g. natural selection predicts the survival of the fittest. But who is the fittest? Whoever survives!).
  • Life is characterized by an immense adaptability to extensive changes in environments.
  • The narrowness of the adaptation is death (e.g. a panda eats only bamboo).
  • Alongside a complicated device, you can often find one nearby that is simpler and apparently works as well.
  • Evolution looks at the goal and not the means.
  • The environment is selective in only a very small number of cases.
  • Evolution is directed. It is an internal program that runs and does not return. The goal seems to be the highest possible psyche.

Similar to the parapsychologist Helmut Schmidt Chauvin developed some of his views from his experiments in Anpsi (animal psi). He did experiments with rats and his results indicated that the rats could have been using Extrasensory perception.[4]

Chauvin has been the subject of much criticism from others because it would appear his views of evolution have a vitalist leaning. He was also accused by his critics of wanting to strengthen creationism, although Chauvin was not a creationist.

Chauvin wrote a number of books on parapsychology[5] that were similar to books by the authors Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels.
